We aimed to evaluate the difference among early post-operative morbidities of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), inguinal herniorrhaphy and their combination in this study. Between 1998 and 2004, 44 patients undergoing combined inguinal herniorrhaphy and TURP (Group I) were compared with 50 consecutive cases of TURP alone (Group II) and 50 consecutive cases of inguinal herniorrhaphy alone (Group III). There were no differences in the mean age and mean prostatic volume between Group I and II. The mean operation time and length of hospital stay were 126.1 +/- 20.9 min, 3.0 +/- 0.7 days for Group I, 61.4 +/- 15.6 min and 2.9 +/- 0.69 days for Group II and 55.0 +/- 15.6 min and 1.2 +/- 0.4 days for Group III, respectively. The mean operation time of Group I was found as longer than Group II and III. There were no significant differences among all groups regarding post-operative complications. No mesh infection was detected. Combined TURP and inguinal herniorrhaphy is a practical, safe and effective procedure.

January 2025
Department of Surgery, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Purpose: Surgery for groin hernia is one of the most common operations in the world. Therefore, research concerning the outcomes of groin hernia surgery is extremely important both for the individual patient as well as for those providing the healthcare funding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of hernia surgery in Sweden over a 30 year time period, from 1992 to 2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses surgeon efficiency when transitioning from laparoscopic to robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair across multiple centers and surgeons.
- Experienced surgeons with no prior robotic experience participated, measuring efficiency by procedure durations and outcomes post-surgery.
- The results show that surgeons improved their efficiency over time, especially in unilateral repairs during the mid-phase of the study, although variations existed between individuals and factors like practice patterns and external circumstances impacted the results.
Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) after pediatric inguinal hernia repair-a retrospective analysis.

Department of General, Visceral, Transplant, Vascular and Pediatric Surgery, University Hospital of Wuerzburg, Wuerzburg, Germany.
Background: Surgical treatment of inguinal hernias in children is one of the most common operative procedures worldwide. During surgery for inguinal hernias in adults, chronic pain develops in approximately 10% of all cases. In children, there has been limited research to determine whether they may also develop this chronic postsurgical inguinal pain (CPIP).

Background & Aims: Hernia is a very common surgical condition affecting all ages and both sexes. Data regarding abdominal wall hernias is essential to hernia management in an institution. With the absence of data regarding the prevalence, characteristics, and associations of abdominal wall hernias in Sudanese patients, we aimed to describe and find the possible differences in the spectrum of abdominal hernias, their rates, and associated predisposing factors.

Spigelian hernia and cryptorchidism syndrome in children is increasingly reported in the literature. A variety of phenotypes have been reported, so diagnostic approaches and operative techniques remain poorly defined. The case of an infant male who presented with a left spigelian hernia and ipsilateral cryptorchidism who was initially misdiagnosed with an ectopic inguinal testis is presented.
